[Intro]
Swing
[Verse 1]
What good is melody, what good is music
If it ain't possessin' something sweet
It ain't the melody, it ain't the music
It's something else that makes the tune complete
[Interlude]
I'm gonna start this beat again
(Alright)
Ah, that's right - now all I have to add is this
We be jammin' (Yeah)
Like this
Ah, that's right
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
What good is melody, what good is music
If it ain't possessin' something sweet
It ain't the melody, it ain't the music
It's something else that makes the tune complete
[Chorus]
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
(Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah)
It don't mean a thing, all you got to do is sing
(Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah)
It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
You just got to give that rhythm all you got
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
(Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah)
Ow
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
You just got to give that rhythm all you got
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
(Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah)
It don't mean a thing, all you got to do is sing
(Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah)
It must be what it is
